Nine Lives appears to be an ordinary bar in the [[the_bowery|Bowery]],​ except there are always a couple of beefy bouncers out front to keep out the usual Bowery derelicts and winos. ​ The real importance of the Nine Lives is the large indoor "​market"​ which can be reached through the back of the bar, or through a warehouse door from the alley out back. The market is in operation Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from 6 until midnight. ​ Here underworld figures from all over town come and buy, sell or swap all manner of ill-gotten gains. ​ The [[wound_ravens|Wound Ravens]] run the swap meet and take a $5 fee per entrant. ​
